Funding has been provided for a further five years to enable the Centre for Innovative and Collaborative Engineering (CICE) to recruit an extra 50 students on its engineering doctorate programme. The centre aims to produce graduates with technical, managerial and business competence in the industry. Dino Bouchlaghem, director of CICE, said: "The centre will continue to build on the considerable success of the past ten years by further developing its industry base, extending the reach and impact of its activities, and consolidating its position as the only doctoral training centre fully focused on the built environment."
